Process of Guilt

**Process of Guilt** is a Portuguese sludge/doom metal band hailing from Coimbra, formed in 2002. Known for their crushing, atmospheric soundscapes and visceral live energy, they’ve carved a niche in the European heavy music scene. Over the years, they’ve dropped massive albums like *Fæmin* (2011) and *Black Earth* (2016), blending relentless riffs with haunting textures. Their 2020 release, *Slaves Beneath the Sun*, further cemented their reputation for crafting dense, emotionally charged doom.

The band isn’t afraid to collaborate, teaming up with Swiss experimental act Rorcal for a split release (*Process of Guilt and Rorcal*), showcasing their love for boundary-pushing heaviness. They’ve toured extensively across Europe, sharing stages with icons like Neurosis and Cult of Luna. Lyrically, they dive into themes of existential dread and societal decay, mirroring the weight of their music. Whether on record or live, Process of Guilt delivers a cathartic, earth-shaking experience for fans of raw, introspective metal.
